To summarise a festival is not an easy task. There were films at the Brisbane International Film Festival that could be described as unique, interesting, surprising, entertaining, daring or moving. However, there’s no one word that can capture a film, there are many. In the blink of an eye, every second, we witness twenty-five frames of film. Over the course of two hours, we have absorbed a massive amount of visual input that however we decide to process or interpret it is entirely up to us.
